Producer Information

Viña Casa Silva is an award-winning, family-owned wine producer in the Colchagua Valley region of Chile. It has a broad portfolio of wines produced under a number of subsidiary brands and ranges. The most important grape varieties include Carmenère, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc. The estate was founded in 1997 by Mario Silva and his son Mario Pablo. The younger sons Francisco, Gonzalo and Raimundo joined the business soon after. The family are direct descendants of Emilio Bouchon, who emigrated from Saint-Émilion in 1892 and began making wine in Chile. The estate has five vineyard properties. Four of these are located in the Colchagua Valley, though topography, soils, alitudes and proximity to the ocean all vary. All vineyards are certified under the new Wines of Chile Sustainability Code (Sustentavid). The "home" vineyard at Angostura has parcels dating back as far as 1912. These feature plant material brought from France by the first generation of the Bouchon/Silva family. Key varieties here are Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Gris, which was re-discovered on the property in 1998. Viña Casa Silva makes one of the few wines made entirely from this variety. The Sauvignon Blanc vines are massal selections propagated from the original imported plants. Soils are fine sand over alluvial substrates. The climate is Mediterranean; summer temperatures range from 12 to 27°C (53.6 80.6°C), and average rainfall is 700mm (27.5 inches). The Los Lingues vineyard has a particular reptuation for Carmenère and Cabernet Sauvignon. It lies in a subsidiary valley with ots own macroclimate. Lolol is a hotter vineyard where Syrah and Viognier do well. In contrast Paredones is closer to the ocean and grows Sauvignon Blanc and Gris, Pinot Noir and a more fresh and elegant expression of Syrah.
